In this study, three psychoregulative procedures of relaxation and excitation were provided in combination with biofeedback to examine their role on physiological and athletic performance variables. Thirty-nine college students were randomly assigned to three groups of psychoregulatory treatment (autogenic and imagery training, AT+IT; music and imagery training, M+IT; autogenic, music and imagery training, AT+M+IT), one placebo group and the control group. Imagery was related to a 100-m run. The treatment and control conditions lasted 13 sessions of 20 min each. During the first seven sessions, the subjects in the treatment groups underwent 10 min of relaxation followed by 10 min of excitation. During the last six sessions, similar treatment was provided accompanied by frontalis EMG biofeedback. Heart rate, the galvanic skin response, EMG and breathing frequency (fb) were recorded three times during each session. In addition, an athletic task (100-m run) was examined at the outset, after seven sessions (no biofeedback) and after an additional six sessions (with biofeedback). Biofeedback was found to have a significant augmenting effect on physiological components and athletic performance when accompanied by autogenic, imagery and music training. Soft music was found to be as beneficial as other relaxation techniques. The results are compared with similar studies applying mental techniques with biofeedback, and new directions of investigation in the psychophysiological domain are suggested.
在本研究中，提供了三种放松与兴奋的心理调节程序，并结合生物反馈来检验它们对生理和运动表现变量的作用。39名大学生被随机分为三组心理调节治疗组（自生训练与意象训练，AT+IT；音乐与意象训练，M+IT；自生、音乐与意象训练，AT+M+IT）、一个安慰剂组和一个对照组。意象与100米跑相关。治疗和对照条件持续13节，每节20分钟。在前七节中，治疗组的受试者先进行10分钟的放松，然后进行10分钟的兴奋。在最后六节中，进行类似的治疗，并伴有额肌肌电图生物反馈。在每节期间记录三次心率、皮肤电反应、肌电图和呼吸频率（fb）。此外，在开始时、七节之后（无生物反馈）以及另外六节之后（有生物反馈）对一项运动任务（100米跑）进行检测。发现当伴有自生训练、意象训练和音乐训练时，生物反馈对生理成分和运动表现有显著的增强作用。发现轻柔音乐与其他放松技术一样有益。将结果与应用心理技术结合生物反馈的类似研究进行比较，并提出了心理生理学领域新的研究方向。
